A classic clutch does not always have to be boring. This hot red pleated leather clutch from Anya is an embodiment of elegance with a touch of excitement. Maybe it is the color or the hardware or the pleats, then again, God is in the details and maybe it is those little details in this clutch that make it pop. The Roslyn is available at net-a-porter.com for GBP269.82.

Stella McCartney deserves more credit than most designers today for her perseverance to stay away from leather and skin of any living animals to do well in fashion. Look at this intricately executed wooden clutch. It might not grab your attention instantly upon the first look, especially with its USD2,000 price tag but it is a genius use of wood to make a clutch that is beyond the usual wooden box clutch. This piece of work is currently sold out on the net-a-porter. It is nice knowing that: 1. Economy has recovered and 2. Shoppers today could appreciate intricate works, beyond branding and expensive materials.

What do we love about Marc by Marc Jacobs bags? Plenty! The nice and youthful designs, the quality material and certainly the price. This tri-color leather clutch is exactly why we keep falling back into love with this Marc Jacob’s B line. Love the color combo, the supple leather and the simplicity of this clutch. Available at net-a-porter for USD180 only.

Valentino? Nope! This is a DKNY clutch. The clutch is made entirely of soft Nappa leather. The size is pretty standard at 12.5″x5″ making this an elegant piece without much fuss. It would, to me easily pass as Valentino with its rose petal decor. Price? This is the best part: at only USD180, it perhaps is just about one-fifth or a quarter of the price should Valentino make one with the same material.The clutch is also available in ivory. Why not red too??

This is my favorite Salvatore Ferragamo iconic clutch. This beauty has been seen many times being clutched by some of the world’s most fashionable women including Blair Waldorf and Lily Bass in Gossip Girl. For the Spring/Summer 2010, the clutch has been issued in patent leather in eye-catching colors such as this hot red and sky blue. A simple, iconic, elegant and timeless clutch is not easy to find. This one costs USD1,050, a good price for such a classic item.

I watch ‘NINE’ last week and have to agree that while Rob Marshall is still one of the greatest Hollywood’s Directors, he did not manage to come anywhere close to ‘CHICAGO’. The cast did deliver what they are expected to, especially Penelope Cruz who just owned the scenes. Penelope Cruz owned the night at the London Premier of ‘NINE’ in Ralph Lauren gown, paired with a gorgeous blue snakeskin clutch from the designer too. I think she scored nine out of nine here.
